A week and a few days after Violet got home from the hospital, we had to take her to the ER. She was throwing up everything that she ate and was loosing weight rapidly. At almost 5 weeks she got down to 7lbs 5oz (she was born at 8lbs)she lost about 5 oz in 3 days. After a few blood tests, ultrasound on the stomach, and xrays, doctors confirmed that she had Pyloric stenosis. Basically the muscle that is on the outside in between her stomach and small intestine was too tight. She was transported to Kaiser LA in an ambulance to have surgery to release the muscle. She was in the hospital a total of 3 days. Despite everything that she has gone thru, she always has a smile on her face. She has another surgery coming up July 24th to fix her cleft lip, hopefully this is the last surgery she has this year.
- Violet loves to eat! I feel that she does that all day! I love my girl.

- She loves playing on her mat.
